The compact SUV Chery Tiggo 5 was released to the market just over two years ago, and in the fall of 2015 the company has agreed on its unscheduled renovation due to the insignificant sales statistics in China. An upgrade aimed to attract young people’s attention to the model has affected only the appearance and interior decoration, disregarding its technical part.

And externally the renewed Chery Tiggo 5 has changed minimally, but began to look fresh and appealing. SUV got modern lighting with LED-elements and completely redone bumper with a new grille.
